I really feel like we didnt reach our top gear yet. Bosh, Birdman and Cole are the only ones that really stepped up and played above the level that was expected from them.

Wade can do much better.
LBJ can do slightly better.
Battier can do alot better.
Rio can play alot better.
Ray can do slightly better.

I think we need at least 2-3 of those guys to step it up for the next series, espically if we face the Pacers.

Wade and LeBron's floaters and runners need to be on point this series.

Yeah, that was how we crushed them in the last 3 games last year. Put Hibbert in the high PnR, and when he retreated to the basket, short floaters and runners up over the top.

That being said, Miami will be able to put him in a much bigger bind defensively even without relying on that stuff this time around because he's going to have to D-up Bosh.

I am curious how Pacers plan to defend Bosh. Regardless though, we need to attack Hibbert and get him in foul trouble early.

One thing I know though, is we won't go into another game 1 slacking. I think we are ready to play a full 48 from the start of this series.

Wade 13/5/5 45%
Lebron 24/7/7 52%
Battier 6 ppg 26%
Bosh 13/8 52%
Rio 7/4 42%
Ray 12 45% 3pt 38%

Not mind boggling numbers overall, but it's difficult to complain when they're 8-1 right now. Once the competition rises their production should too. Ray is on par of where he should be as a role player off the bench though. Not sure what more you could ask for there.

It's going to be interesting to see how we come out on Wednesday. Rust played a huge part in us losing Game 1 to Chicago at home and on top of that, we've never rested before after a series so hopefully we come out with a nice flow this time...
